Socorro, New Mexico
The Karl G. Jansky radio telescope installation known as the Very Large Array located just outside Socorro, New Mexico. Each of the 27 dishes (plus 1 spare) is 82 feet in diameter and weighs in at 230 tons. They can be placed in 4 different "Y" configurations ranging from a half a mile apart to just over 22.5 miles and are changed several times a year.

This was our telescope, and it sits at the top of the tower. It's an array of photomultiplier tubes, or PMTs. Each collects a photon and converts it to a voltage change. All of the big heliostats on the ground collect falling light and direct it onto a different PMT, so we can not only localize the signal but its time of arrival as well.
